Washington Post economics correspondent Heather Long talks through the details of the Republican tax overhaul that took effect this year and why some people will be surprised by their 2018 tax bills.
"For the vast majority of people… their taxes did go down in 2018. 80 percent of Americans paid less taxes in 2018 but their refunds will also be lower," says @byHeatherLong.

"You get the same refunds year after year… a lot of people have come to rely on that money and the average refund was $3,000… there’s kind of a shock," says @byHeatherLong on tax season 2019.
